10 g fast action yeast
150 g sugar
½ tsp salt

1

In a shallow bowl, add flour and salt together (combine salt with flour first).

2

Add other dry ingredients and combine well.

3

Add lukewarm water to the dry mixture in bits to form a batter. You can add 500g at first then check if it needs more water. (the batter should not be runny and it shouldn’t be thick as well, find a balance in between the two).

4

Cover the bowl with a cling film or a damp towel and place in a warm place to proof. (Till batter doubles in size usually between an hour or two. You can leave it longer if you want).

5

Once the mixture has risen and doubled in size, you then move on to frying.
